Cluster Setup & Administration:

• Managing services, nodes ,snapshots, mirror volumes and remote clusters.
• Understanding and managing Nodes.
• Understanding of Hadoop components, Installing Hadoop components alongside MapR Services.
• Accessing Data on cluster including via NFS Managing services & nodes.
• Managing data by using volumes, managing users and groups, managing & assigning roles to nodes, commissioning decommissioning of nodes, cluster administration and performance monitoring, configuring/ analyzing and monitoring metrics to monitor performance, configuring and administering MapR security.
• Understanding and working with M7- Native storage for MapR tables.
• Cluster configuration and tuning for optimum performance.

Cluster upgrade and integration with other setups:
